"Alas...... It's because I'm not filial, so my grandfather and his old man are deflated. ”

In the imperial study, Guo Zongxun heard that Hu Guirong had just been released from the Jinyi Guard prison, so he turned his head and ran to the slums of Dongcheng with a burden, and also bumped into his grandfather Chai Shouli.

In the confrontation between the two old men, Chai Shouli, who was suffering from not being able to reveal his identity, had the upper hand and was very depressed, and it was said that at dinner, even the egg soup was not fragrant.

"Wei Banban, send someone to start spreading my grandfather's reputation in Kaifeng, I don't want to let his old man be wronged anymore."

"The slave obeys the order, it's time to let the old immortal become famous."

"Your Majesty, the old slave suggested that we should wait a little longer, the recent limelight, it's all in the soldiers and the autumn of this Ke Qiu."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Li Tongjie, you are an old man, our family naturally knows that now is not the best time to make a name for the old immortal, isn't this Your Majesty a little anxious.

"Li Banban is right, it's really not a good time to make a name for my grandfather now, so let's wait."

"Your Majesty, the slave has a suggestion, after the entrance examination of the Autumn Palace, on the one hand, arrange for the three yuan of the current branch to cross the horse and wear flowers on the street, on the other hand, we can also let all the Jinshi in the list go to visit the Wushuangmen Printing Factory, as long as we arrange it in advance, let the old immortal Weng be exposed in front of the new branch Jinshi, and these new science and technology Jinshi will spread the reputation of the old immortal, wouldn't the effect be better......"

Guo Zongxun patted his thigh and said happily:

"Wei Companion is a good idea for you, you should be rewarded, I will reward you...... Well, I'll give you a reward for this errand. ”

"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Li Tongjie with some pride, and Li Tongjie also gave him a thumbs up.

"Father-in-law Wei, it's really high."

"Also, pay close attention to Hu Guirong during this time, if he is indeed sincerely doing things for the people of Dazhou, I don't mind letting him become famous again."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Guo Zongxun now thinks that having Hu Guirong as a foil for his grandfather seems to be quite good.

The chief examiner Wei Renpu and the deputy examiner Ma Yilin took the rest of the examiners to start grading, Guo Zongxun ordered that they should not fight day and night, and it was important to let each grader maintain a normal marking state.

Zhao Kuangyin led an army of 200,000 from Kaifeng to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Marshal Zhao, in this expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, I give you the greatest military command, and there is no restriction on where you cross the river to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin had a feeling that the sky was high and the birds were flying, and he could finally leave Kaifeng.

"Thank you for your Majesty's trust, I will be invincible wherever I go."

Zhao Kuangyin always wanted to ask the little emperor where his second brother was and whether he could take his second brother to go on the expedition together, but he was afraid that the little emperor would be suspicious and think about it, so he could only give up.

Second brother, eldest brother is sorry for you, eldest brother's family also stayed in Kaifeng, which was forced by the little emperor.

Watching Zhao Kuangyin's army disappear into the distance, Guo Zongxun sighed, it is not my wish to let the tiger return to the mountain, Zhao Kuangyin, I will give you another stage, I hope you will not let me down.

At this time in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the reigning person was still Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and as for what Li Yu was doing, Guo Zongxun said that he didn't care.

I heard that Li Jing and Li Yu are both famous lyricists, Li Yu also has deep attainments in calligraphy and painting, but they are both mediocre talents in governing the country.

"Wei Banban, I have kept an eye on Zhao Kuangyin's mansion, and all those who are close to Zhao Kuangyin, whether they are in Kaifeng or in various places, will pay close attention to me."

"The minions obey."

Guo Zongxun looked up at the sky, father, the child let Zhao Kuangyin go out to fight, if he didn't rebel, it would mean that the child had mistaken him, if he was reversed......

Forget it, if he is the opposite, it is not the fault of his father, but also the fault of the child, the child should not listen to you, he directly killed this guy, and everything was solved.

However, after secretly killing Zhao Kuangyin, is everything really solved?

No one will rebel?

After another ten days, Yue Fei also led an army of 270,000 to the north to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, and Han Zhao and Han Xianming, who became famous in the first battle of Gubei, also went out with the army.

For Han Zhao, not only Yue Fei was full of praise for him, but Guo Zongxun was also very optimistic.

Guo Zongxun also personally saw off the soldiers who went out, standing on the ten-mile pavilion and watching the distant army for a long time.

This is also Guo Zongxun's decision to strike while the iron is hot, make full use of the residual power of his father Guo Rong to break the Khitan, and take advantage of the situation to continue to expand to the north and south.

To the south is to seize the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and to the north is to seize an important strategic resource base.

Taiyuan, Fuzhou and Linzhou, these places are the places known by Guo Zongxun to be rich in coal mines, oil fields, and natural gas reserves closest to Kaifeng, and he is determined to win.

In fact, Guo Zongxun is not very satisfied with the current capital, Kaifeng has no coal mines that can be mined by simple means, which makes Guo Zongxun very dissatisfied.

In this era, the only thing that can really change history and create history and greatly promote social progress is that in Guo Zongxun's view, only coal resources can be utilized.

In the previous life of 2020, when I was traveling in Kaifeng, I once heard the tour guide proudly introduce that coal mines with reserves of hundreds of millions of tons were found near Kaifeng, at a depth of 1,600 to 2,000 meters below the surface.

At that time, Guo Zongxun didn't have any concept of it, and 1,600 meters didn't seem to be too difficult for modern industrial technology.

But now, Guo Zongxun looked at his feet, maybe the coal was lying quietly at a depth of 1,600 meters under his feet, laughing at himself.

"Come on, traverser, come and dig us."

Whether it is to make cement or engage in blast furnace ironmaking, it is absolutely impossible to rely on firewood and grass.

Therefore, Taiyuan, Fuzhou and Linzhou must be captured.

Then, many things that Guo Zongxun wants to do can be officially started.

With the grain and grass security of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and the energy security of Taiyuan, Fuzhou and Linzhou, at that time, it was the starting point of the real prosperous era of the Great Zhou.

Guo Zongxun retracted his thoughts and returned to the Kaifeng Palace in a chariot.

After these days, the small token engraved with Song Yingxing's name has not moved, although Guo Zongxun knows that the time has not come, but he is still a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, Wei Xiang and Lord Lang Ma of the Criminal Department ask to see you."

After half a month of marking and grading papers, the work of taking scholars in the autumn of this year has finally been completed.

"Xuan."

Wei Renpu and Ma Yilin came to the imperial study to meet the driver.

"Your Majesty, Ministers."

"Flat, come here, give Wei Xiang a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Wei Xiang, Ma Aiqing, how is the situation of the undergraduate scholarship, hurry up and report to me......"
